We also cut a corner in the Christmas present department by quadrupling the dry mix portion of the recipe, portioning out (we put half the dry ingredient amounts from the recipe below in each jar) and giving some out as gifts....with instructions of course (listed below recipe).
Figgy Cookies
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/16 teaspoon clove
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup figs
- 1/4 cup dates
- 1/4 cup rasins
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool slightly, remove from sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
4. PREP 15 mins
5. COOK 10 mins
6. READY IN 1 hr
Brandy Icing
- 1/2 cup brandy, simmered for about 15 minutes to cook off most of the alcohol
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1. Stir together ingredients until smooth.
2. Dunk cookies, top side down into glaze (or drizzle over the cookies if you'd like them a little less sweet).
Jar Cookies
Add the following to your jar mix...
(there is 2 ⅓ cups of mix in each jar)
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Note: Don't forget to include a tag with baking instructions on the jar!
These things are so delicious that Kassy didn't even think about taking
a picture of them until she was half done eating the last one! Oops!
